In a recent speech at Liberty University, author Dinesh D’Souza gave a nice summation of the theme of his new book, “The Big Lie.” In the book he painstakingly demonstrates something everyone should already know: fascism — just like socialism and communism — is a phenomenon of the political left and primarily driven by the Democrat party in the United States. Socialism, communism, and fascism are all simply different flavors of collectivism. The real battle is between individualism (freedom and limited government) vs. collectivism (tyranny and big government).

The video of the speech is below and it’s well worth watching because he very concisely covers the history and also demonstrates how it relates to our current political climate and the anti-Trump hysteria of the left.
